EZPL command generator for label thermal printer. This library is for anyone who wants to integrate directly with their printers without any 3rd party application.

This library was tested using Godex G500 model and with a 50mmx45mm label sticker paper.

Installation

composer require fashionvalet/stickie

Generating EZPL Commands

<?php

use Dbr\Ezpl\Builder;
use Dbr\Ezpl\CommandPipe;

$command = (new Builder(new CommandPipe))
    ->resetMemory()
    ->setLabelWidth(50)
    ->setLabelHeight(30)
    ->setDensity(10)
    ->copies(1)
    ->labelStart()
    ->text(10, 15, 5, 1, 1, 0, 0, 'Item: Brina Flowy Chiffon Skirt - UK 6')
    ->text(10, 15, 30, 1, 1, 0, 0, 'Brand: Aere')
    ->text(10, 15, 90, 1, 1, 0, 0, 'SKU: 1504051610-UK 6')
    ->text(10, 15, 120, 1, 1, 0, 0, 'Price: RM 1,000.00')
    ->barcode('CODE128', 72, 160, 2, 10, 30, 0, 3, 'AR0009287')
    ->labelEnd()
    ->compose();

This will generate the EZPL output as below

~MDEL\n
^W50\n
^Q30\n
^H10\n
^P1\n
^L\n
AB, 15, 5, 1, 1, 0, 0, Item: Brina Flowy Chiffon Skirt - UK 6\n
AB, 15, 60, 1, 1, 0, 0, Brand: Aere\n
AB, 15, 90, 1, 1, 0, 0, SKU: 1504051610-UK 6\n
AB, 15, 120, 1, 1, 0, 0, Price: RM 1,000.00\n
BQ, 72, 160, 2, 10, 30, 0, 3,AR0009287\n
E\n

Printing The Output

<?php

use Dbr\Ezpl\Printer;
use Dbr\Ezpl\Builder;
use Dbr\Ezpl\CommandPipe;
use Dbr\Ezpl\Driver\LinuxConnector;

$command = (new Builder(new CommandPipe))
    ->resetMemory()
    ->setLabelWidth(50)
    ->setLabelHeight(30)
    ->setDensity(10)
    ->copies(1)
    ->labelStart()
    ->text(10, 15, 5, 1, 1, 0, 0, 'Item: Brina Flowy Chiffon Skirt - UK 6')
    ->text(10, 15, 30, 1, 1, 0, 0, 'Brand: Aere')
    ->text(10, 15, 90, 1, 1, 0, 0, 'SKU: 1504051610-UK 6')
    ->text(10, 15, 120, 1, 1, 0, 0, 'Price: RM 1,000.00')
    ->barcode('CODE128', 72, 160, 2, 10, 30, 0, 3, 'AR0009287')
    ->labelEnd();

$connector = new LinuxConnector('/dev/usb/lp0');
$printer = new Printer($connector, $command);

$printer->generate();
